I went to a Drift Practice session at Fuji Speedway last week. It was held on the Gymkhana course, and they set up 8 different courses with pylons throughout the day.

One great thing was that the organizer provided tires and wheels for FREE!!! I went through two sets of rear tires

I thought I did okay for my first time drifting an FR car, I managed to link a lot of the corners while drifting. I'm going again this weekend! I'm going to keep going every weekend (or so) until I have confidence I can drift well on the touge without crashing... my long term goal is to be able to do something like this:

heres some video footage of me and first time at streets of willowhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oHNuLuKqhU...=2&feature=plcp^you get to see an awesome b16 type r powered mini and a little sideways action at 5:25min. No thanks to my crap spring rates of course. 2.3hz suspension frequency on street tires ftl

I've improved a lot even though I've only gone for 3 days now (I went 2 weeks ago too, in addition to my post above. It was really rainy...) I spin rarely, and my angle is pretty good. I'm just kinda slow in my speed, and not very good at taking a proper line yet... I kinda let the car control me...

My first track day with my silver Bird on our smallest circuit in Hradec Králové. It was great and it was very cheap. Please note, that these cars are very rare here, in Europe.

All these photos were probably taken during timed laps, because I don't see any other car at the track that time.

In PlechCup (analogy to lemons races) I finished second which was perfect to me. I didn't expect this result. BTW, my buddy with BMW E30 made his timed lap only 0.3s faster (but he didn't comply with PlechCup rules - his car was too expensive ).

^and wow, those are some hot brakes on that FR-S/86! How many laps did it take for them to get that hot? Are they stock?

I went drifting yesterday for the first time at Fuji Drift Park. It was the first time I ever drifted at a "track", I've only ever drifted in large, open spaces with pylons before (gymkhana courses).About 80 people were there, here's a pic in one direction:

Some interesting cars were there. Here's a Toyota 86 with a SARD kit:

A strawberry-faced Sileighty. I love these:

There were about 5 female drifters there. This one was really hot, and her car was hot too

This guy's girlfriend was really good at drifting and was super hot, he was a noob drifter though.What a lucky bastard...

They split us into 8 groups, divided by skill level. I was surprised when I was put into the 4th group, since I am a noob. Apparently ~30% of the people there were drifting for the first, second, or 3rd time. I guess everyone in Japan aren't already super-skilled drifters, huh?

Here's a video of one of my runs.It's in 3D, btw. I shot it with a 3D camera:

Wow... this thread is dead!! Do not many IDW members track their car? Or maybe they just don't want to post here?

Anyways, I've been to a few track days over the past few months.

In November, I took my car to the gymkhana course at Fuji for some drift practice (in a wide, open area):

On Jan 3rd, I went to Fuji again, but this time to the Drift course.I installed a new GP Sports front bumper in December. There was nothing wrong with my old Impul front bumper, I just didn't like the look of it. It will be my spare for if I crash while drifting.I also installed a Profec boost controller and a Blitz FMIC.

For some reason, there were A LOT of itashas there (from two separate drift teams). They were all good at drifting, too.This guy broke his left rear lower control arm in two...

Ryousuke was there!!!

Also, saw this "Lightning Strikes" S15 there.He said he has done a lot of engine work since it was last featured in a US magazine some time ago, it now makes ~800hp:

Here it is along with my car, a white "Mazora" Vertex Edge-kitted S15, and another white S15 outside the 7-11 at lake Ashinoko (I know the picture is terrible....):I rode passenger in the blue S15 up a mountain pass in Hakone, and almost shat my pants.

Then, most recently, I went to Mobara Twin Circuit on Jan 19th for the "SR Meeting", where only cars with SR-series engines were allowed:

This TEPS Racing Service "Ika Musume" S14.5 was there. The sign in the window says "A child is driving":

It was driven by the owner of TEPS. He has some amazing drifting skills:

If you look closely, you will notice that it's built on an S15 chassis. Here's the engine:

This Nissan Serena was insane, the interior was gutted and he was running an SR20DET:

The guy in the Shakugan no Shana S15 from team Destination won a new GT28RS (Disco Potato) turbo at the event in Mobara, lucky!!!I won two brand new 18" 9.5jj 5x114.3 +12 Work Emotion XT7 wheels there though, so I shouldn't complain...

They have no chance of fitting on my car without a widebody kit though, so anyone want to buy them?

Also, I have all of those pictures in 3D (shot with my 3D camera) if anyone wants them.... I posted the 2D versions since probably not too many people here have stereoscopic 3D setups on their computers like me.
